I’M BACK. It was a nice trip. The InstaGrandmother is doing pretty well for 89, still living on her own, driving, and doing pretty much everything for herself, though she’s slowed down a bit in recent years. We had a very nice, quiet visit, playing cards, talking, and eating. I ignored the news, and didn’t even try to go online. That leaves me with some catching up to do (I swear that people send even more email when I go offline, even not counting Frank at IMAO’s spambots). I’ll try to plow through it when I get the chance.
